Program skips code after trying to parse XML in VB.NET
- by Bead
I'm trying to parse some XML (html) I downloaded using WebRequest.Create() and then read it. However after loading the XML file using LoadXml(string), anything else I execute doesn't work. Setting a breakpoint on anything afterwards doesn't work and it doesn't break.
I tried catching exception but none are occurring, so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Here is my code:
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(HTTPResponse.GetResponseStream())
Dim xDoc As XmlDocument = New XmlDocument()
xDoc.LoadXml(reader.ReadToEnd())
Dim omfg As String = xDoc.ChildNodes().Item(0).InnerText()
Dim name As XmlNodeList = xDoc.GetElementsByTagName("div")
Dim jj As Integer = name.Count
For i As Integer = 0 To name.Count - 1
MessageBox.Show(name.Item(i).InnerText)
Next i
Anything after the "xDoc.LoadXml(reader.ReadToEnd())" doesn't execute.. Any ideas on this?
My XML does have some whitespace at the beginning, I don't know if that is causing the problem...
